Set WoW to start with High Priority

[snoopykul]

Hi,
I was just wondering if there's a way to make wow***** start with high priority when u use cosmos***** to start the game.

I know how to do it w/o cosmos, but having difficulties figuring it out with cosmos.

any help is appreciated. thanks

i dont think it matters if you start the game with or without comos*****.

most of the time i run cosmos, close it and then run the game from my desktop icon.

ive never noticed a difference between running it through the patcher or through my desktop icon.

Not currently possible. You have to use your task manager to manually set WoW to have a high priority after it has been launched.

What is the process to do this automaticly, assuming there is one? Or do I have to manually ctrl+alt+delete and set priority every time i boot wow?

start "c:\program files\world of warcraft\wow*****" /high
If using the cosmo's patcher, you'd have to change it manually though the task manager like Sarf said.

Who maintains the Cosmos patcher? Would it be possible to add a "Launch WoW as High priority" checkbox? Or maybe a text input allowing the user to specify any 'advanced' command line options when lauching WoW*****?

Thx Egris :) I will try it tomorrow when EB gives me my game :(

what does high priority do anyway?

Yes it may sound a bit newb'ish, but I'd also like to know the difference between the priorities...
Does it have to do with RAM capacities or Machine speed?

prioritys meen, if two applacations want to use the same prossesr cycle at the same time, who gets it, if you run on high 90% of all other applactions will be unuseable when you run wow (its stealing all your prosseser cycles) if you run full screne, never alt tab, and getting considrible lag due to too many programs running, this is the mode for you. if you use windowed mode, and check throttbot often, then you prob want to leave it at normal.
